          bookworm is about 500m bigger that bullseye

          so swap is critical on small memory machines

            mmos is critical with pi zero 2w, I had a user who gave up, but it depends on installed modules and quality of used sd-card.

            CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024 (if not changed by user)

                An observation, if I power cycle the pi, there is a good chance of it not starting up with the errors in the original post.

                Once leave it for five min for all the processes to start (and fail), then run docker compose up -d --force-recreate, it seems to be stable from then on and works well.

                      the script /opt/mm/install/install.sh is executed with every reboot.

                      As workaround you could add

                      sleep 10s
                      docker compose up -d --force-recreate
                      

                      at the end (where you have to play with the sleep seconds).

                        Is that executed on the OS boot, or by one of the containers as they start?

                        I was thinking of a workaround like that to introduce a pause. Given the low machine spec, it seems to be busy for about 5min after sshd starts, so will just try a 300 sec sleep.
